AI and Home Care, should you be scared of using it?

It’s that time of week again when we delve into Home Care and explore ways to create not only caring companies but well run profitable companies. Which is why AI has come to mind.

As business owners we know money likes Speed. The quicker we can do things the quicker we can make money. AI definitely helps to speed up processes. But is AI suitable for Home Care? In this 5 minute read we will discuss what AI actually is and if it’s ethical to use the technology for our advantage.

Before we begin, I thought I’d share a story that fits in well with the newsletter theme

💪🍺

I stopped drinking Alcohol and It has changed me for the better.

What has that got to do with AI? Bear with me because, I like writing and I’m pretty good at it. I’m lucky that I can think quickly and don’t struggle for words. 

Every post I make is 99% my creation. The only time I allow my AI platform to help me is when my post is too long and I need it cut down to fit. Then and only then do I allow myself this little hack to save time. 

So what has that got to do with stopping drinking?

Before I stopped drinking I was constantly tired, everything was an effort. The thought of writing a blog post or weekly newsletter wasn’t top of my to do list. 

When I was drinking my hands started  to hurt and I stopped writing in my diary. My weight went up as my energy went down, I felt unhealthy and uninspired. 

So what do you do when you feel like this? You often cut corners, look for easy options and cheat. 

Is that a bad thing?

Cutting corners, taking the easy option and cheating can be bad but can also be good. If you can do something quicker and use someone else to copy, then you can get better results faster. 

The problem is, if you constantly cut corners and cheat, sooner or later you will be found out. You won’t grow or learn much. 

And That’s my problem with AI. The Scale and Grow Platform I use to help Home Care owners build a better business is built on AI so I know how effective it can be. I can see how much good it does for my clients and how they benefit from using it.

But, as  I say to all that use it, It’s there to support you, not replace you. You can use it to create photos like the above so you won’t need to go to the gym and take selfies, You won’t have to write a newsletter then edit it several times to fit each platform, My system does it in seconds. You won’t even need to speak with me as much as I've trAIned the system to help you quickly and efficiently there as well.

But just like me wanting to give clients value, you still have to do the majority of the work, otherwise what’s the point in you or me? 

It’s not realistic to keep cutting corners, use AI for everything and expect to build a great home care business. These tools are brilliant at supporting you but like you, your business will become irrelevant if you let them replace you.  

What’s the solution for AI & Home Care?

The Solution is to embrace AI but keep these three words in mind : Know, Like, Trust

When building a Home Care Business you need to always keep in mind, your clients will only use you if they Know, Like & Trust you. AI will never replace a personal story, a video with you in it, a photo and blog about you and your home care journey. AI will support you and do some wonderful things for you. It will help you gAIn many Private paying clients and it will save you a fortune on marketing agency fees. But AI won’t and should never replace YOU!!!

You are the owner, you have the experience and the stories. Use AI to build your home care business but also make sure you do the following to maximise you chances of success….

To effectively enhance the Know, Like, and Trust factors and attract private paying clients, Home care owners can blend personal stories with AI-generated marketing materials. Personal stories, rwith genuine experiences and emotional connections, serve as powerful tools to humanize the brand and resonate deeply with potential clients and their families.

These narratives can highlight the compassionate care and positive outcomes experienced by current clients, fostering a sense of trust and relatability. Meanwhile, AI-generated marketing materials can be utilized to analyze market trends, personalize communication, and optimize content delivery, ensuring that the right message reaches the right audience at the right time.

By leveraging AI's ability to tailor marketing strategies and enhance engagement through data-driven insights, elderly care owners can create a compelling narrative that not only showcases their unique value proposition but also builds a strong emotional connection with prospective clients, ultimately driving trust and encouraging them to choose their services.
